Customise every part of the notification. We have created two designs for you but with custom CSS, you can change anything.

Features

Recently is the most feature rich notification app for Shopify. Easily change everything such as the timing, position, message and so much more.

Reviews

This is a MUST have app for my store elitefitz.com . It shows my customers in real time, real purchases. With so many over saturated markets this is mandatory and so worth it.
I messaged with Asa today because i was having display issues and the experience was so pleasant and helpful. I even got a few bonus recommendations. Highly recommend.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
I don't usually leave reviews but I can't praise the app or the support enough, I got an instant response via live chat and everything was answered ASAP. They even helped me out with an issue not related to their app!
If you're thinking of installing this app then don't think twice!!!

Update after speaking with developer: they were really helpfull and explained a few things that were not obvious and that I misunderstood about how the app works.
For example: the app doesn't show reviews posted before the app was installed - you have to enter those in manually. It only starts collecting reviews posted after it's been installed.
Thanks for the help, awesome app!

Initial review:
Doesn't work properly. After installation it refuses to display reviews even though I've set it to ONLY show reviews and not purchases - it still shows purchases and no reviews.
The notification format is bugged - it shows the full address of our customers (City, State and Country) even tough I've set it to only show the city - we do not sell outside our country.
Had to disable it for now.
Have submitted a support request, will update review later as needed.

Excellent support. Question was answered and Asa resolved in a flash. The GUI of this app is the most well-polished and tidy compared to all the others I've tested (Fomo, Sales Pop). This app is far superior. For starters, it uses first name, instead of the arbitrary "Someone purchased".
Excited to report back with attributable store performance metrics.
8.15.2017 Update: Just had another quick exchange with Asa and the support team. Big shoutout, these guys are very prompt and professional. Top class support and app for sure.

We recently switched from Notify over to this and love how it gives you more customization options, etc. Great app! Oh and I would also like to add - customer support is FANTASTIC with this app. We had a minor issue with a setting, but jumped on live chat to ask for help. The developer immediately responded (!) and was very friendly and helpful via chat, saying he would fix the issue right away. That's what I call service!!

I have had this ap since practically day one of it's launch , and when it was the first and only of it's type. I have to say it's genius from a marketing aspect and definitely does what it is supposed to do and that's create a sense of urgency for the customers to make a purchase also creates an excitement when they see others buying things that they also want. AWESOME support and they even helped me speed up my site and fix problems that were unrelated that we had NO idea where even happening and costing us thousands in sales because of those problems. The staff went above and beyond for us and we thank them. YOU HAVE AN ONLINE STORE? Get this ap you will thank me later. Thanks and God bless

I've been testing this App on a few of our stores for the last two weeks, and have just added to another last night.
Recently does exactly as advertised and Asa has been extremely helpful with all my questions and suggestions
We're seeing an increase across the stores, and finding it definitely assists with giving customers the feeling they're on a busy store, which was what we were looking for.
Being able to edit the different settings is such a bonus as well, especially for our types of stores.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the new statistical tracking that has been planned to release soon as well.

Worth the price!
There are few other apps like this one, few of them are cheaper but it doesn't matter.
THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE!
Support is responsive, polite, and fast
Don't waste your time on other apps, I did test them and there is only one app worth installing RECENTLY 3.

BEST ONE! There are a few apps like that on a market.
I tested them all and this is a winner!
If your store is not English, translations are amazing!
Support is just great, they answer fast and professional.
They help me with some translations and fixed few things in a matter of minutes.

I tried this app with the 7 day free trial just to see what it's all about. I've seen recent transactions pop up on other sites, and felt like this could be something that might work for me as I see lots of products added to cart but not a full conversion to sale. I definitely think this app has the ability to increase the customer trust level by seeing firsthand that other people are buying from the site. I really liked the customization opportunities, being able to control how many (or how few) times the notification pops up and on what page. I would definitely recommend this app to other shops.

We are having a really good experience with the Recently app. Set-up was super easy - very straightforward to install and customize.
Integrating this into our Shopify store has added a ton of value to our customers' experience because they can see that we are a trusted retailer and they can shop with confidence!

Great App! Easy to customize the look, content, and timings. We've had it for a month and according to Analytics, we've had 207 customers click and 1 sale with Recently clicks. Love that it integrates with Judge.Me to show off new reviews too!

This is an amazing app.
I have not only increased sales but also gotten feedback from customers who said the message made them feel comfortable purchasing (since others had been buying) and that we were a busy store!
Thanks Recently!

We've been using Recently 3 for just over a week and have already had good success. The app interface is intuitive to use and the real time analytics are great. The best thing so far has been my interaction with the app developers. Their response time via email and in-app chat is amazing and they are receptive to feature requests. Highly recommended!

Had a good experience with the Recently app.
We are using Recently app in our ecommerce store and so far we have had a good experience with it. The plugin overcomes some of the limitations that we had in our store - thanks for that!

Just installed this app after experimenting with 5 similar ones today. Recently 2 is the winner in my opinion!
I had a couple of questions/suggestions for the developer and they responded immediately! They are adding a feature to create specific notifications (instead of relying solely on orders from customers) which should be released sometime this month or next, which is exactly what I was looking for! They also listened to another suggestion I had (and actually were already working on it as well). So customer service, A++
The pop-up looks great on mobile. Unobtrusive and smooth. GREAT for social proof and suggesting products!

This is a great app! We installed it and within a day, we received 2 orders from this app. It draws people in and makes customers want to buy something quick. Really easy to install and then tweak to suit our shop. Love this app!

Being new to Shopify, this is the easiest app I've encountered so far. I've installed and uninstalled so many already because I just don't want to have to tweak things right now. But Recently 2 was literally just one click & it's already working for me! Thank you!

One of our favourite apps! We use it across all our websites and the social proof really helps. Sample of how we utilise on www.gamory.com.au
The support from Asa and his team is simply AMAZING, and the constant improvements they're making to the app brings it to another level. Reasonably priced and simply WORKS.

Excellent app!! Awesome features with the ability to adjust to suit your store and preferences(colors, fonts, visibility, etc), superb customer service - couldn't ask for better support, and very reasonably priced against the competition!! Definitely will recommend!

Awesome app - definitely increases my conversion rate and my overall revenue substantially!
Beyond that, Asa has been a huge help. Any issues I have, I contact him directly and get a response within a matter of minutes. To anyone looking to boost their sales, definitely give this a shot.

Update: Well Asa def squared me away. She helped me find what a major problem was and their app wasnt working because of it. Apparently a part of my theme code was jacked up and causing major issues. We got it fixed up and no issues at all! Definitely way better than I code the CSS as well as fix the positioning of this gem. All it needs to complete itself is a fade in not a fly in.
All in all I cant complain with the app. I love the little slider that shows up on the screen (its customizeable) with the image and a brief description of the item. It has never went down and support staff is always quick to respond and try to make adjustments that you ask for. They updated it so if there is no name attached to the first name it shows as Someone. Perfect

Tried out 3 different Shopify apps for my store (1) Notify, (2) This one - Recently, and (3) Recent Sales Notification Popup, and Recently came out tops! Using it permanently on my store now. I didn't want to spam my visitors with these popups, so any app I chose HAD to have a feature to limit the number of notifications it showed.
It had a good balance of price and features. Best of all, the customer service I received from Asa was simply amazing, turn around on replies were less than a day. He made customisations to shorten the state name, and optimised the mobile view all within a space of 3 days. *huge thumbs up*
Quick summary and ranking of the ones I've tried:
1) Recently - $10/month, lots of customisation options and has the ability to limit the number of notifications based on time of order.
2) Recent Sales Notification Popup - $5.95/month, lacked the feature to limit the number of notifications a user receives but it's the cheapest option.
3) Notify - way too expensive at $15/month, clean interface but lacks customisation options.

We'd trialed similar apps to this previously and none were without merit - some did the job nicely but were too expensive, while others which were cheaper, didn't have the customisation options we were looking for.
"Recently" on the other hand looked ideal, offering all the features we wanted while pitched at a realistic price.
We've now been using Recently for just over a week and have to say we're very pleased with it; it was a breeze to install, all those customisations were easy to implement and it functions exactly as we'd hoped. Nothing negative to say - no page slowdowns or any other adverse effects.
5 stars or 10/10 - well done Appifiny!

I'm always looking for unique apps to enhance my customer's shopping experience and Recently is it! The banner allows a peek into the actions of other shoppers and stirs new shoppers to click and view what the fuss is all about. I enjoy the panel's ease of use and the Customer Service is excellent! You cannot go wrong with Recently and the support they give. Thank you!!

Really nice app, but i need a option, where i can deny specific products to display. I am using shopify for order, which i dont want to be displayed in the onlineshop. Please add the option. :) - 09.11.2015: Option was added. NICE!
